Studio Friday....Favorite Quote....

Now that we are done with all the crazy partying from last Friday.....I see we are right back to business :)......I used to be a quote junkie. I would collect all kinds of quotes. I would hang them up in my former studio like they were carvings on a tablet sent from the heavens above. Eagerly look to them for the divine inspiration that was going to change my life. But then I kind of got sick of quotes and became anti-quote artist. I eschewed all quotes and what they stood for. After much reflection, I realized that by merely reading the quote, my life was not going to transform suddenly and miraculously. But, it was the action with which I took behind the quote that was going to make a difference. I still can't stand to read the super popular ones....like, "Dance like you never danced....blah blah blah" Once you see them everywhere, the quote seems to deflate like a balloon. Nowadays, I tend to gravitate toward the obscure quotes or even unintentional quotes like this......

It was originally intended for weight loss in an article of oprah. However, I took it to mean life and goals in general. It really has made a big difference for me in my pursuit to reconnect with my art. And I put it on the cover of my inspiration journal. It's the perfect quote for immediate gratification, perfectionists who tend to procrastinate........like myself.
